It was early evening, and I had spent most of the day on the goâgrocery shopping, cleaning the house, doing dishes and laundry, cooking meals. I wanted to put my brain and body on pause for a few minutes before opening the bills from the mailbox.
Question: My children are recommending a companion to stop by my home twice a week. I donât see the need or really know why they insist. I can do just about everything by myself, itâs just that I live alone and sometimes wish I had a little company. My children all work and live far away.
We just completed a series on healthy fat loss and studied how detrimental sugars and grains are keeping us from attaining our goals. Starting this week, we will look at side effects experienced from consuming sugar, physical and mental ways it harms the body, and major illnesses often leading to disability and death.
Thereâs a new restaurant in town, pardner, and itâs name is Texas Roadhouse. All you hungry cowpokes better watch out, Crystal Lake will never be the same.
There have been countless articles written about this movie, dating back a year or more, most of them about the controversy surrounding the script. Since the biblical account, narrated in the Book of Genesis chapters six through nine, is short on detail, it left the writers a great deal of leeway in building the story.
Did you see the editorial in the Chicago Tribune on March 30, 2014 comparing Illinoisâ âState of the Stateâ between 2010 and 2014? The editorial used 22 different indicators to measure Illinois against the other 49 states.

Q. I am so happy the weather is changing, and I want to start exercising. I am a little afraid to start. I donât exercise, and I donât want to hurt myself after a long winter of sitting around.
As Mark Twain tells it, he once had one of those nagging colds that just wouldnât go away. He asked a neighbor what he should do about it. âDrink a quart of whisky,â the neighbor said.
The healthcare industry is goÂing through tremendous change with the implementation of medical informatics (the use of technology to automate both clinical and financial medical systems). Such changes have added to the already spiraling costs of health care.
April 1 always begins the same way in our home: I go into each of our childrenâs bedrooms, pull open the shades, look out the window, and exclaim âIt snowed!â A very sleepy child who has somehow morphed into a teenager will roll over and say, âApril Fools.â
Question: We have lived in our house for seven years, and a couple of our doors now squeak when we open and close them. I think they need oil but what kind and how much?
When Nancy talked me into moving to the âresortâ community of Sun City (or as I called it, âthe homeâ) several years ago, we missed some of the restaurants you normally find closer to the city. While driving around investigating the nearby towns, lo and behold, we were surprised to find a Lou Malnatiâs Pizzeria in Lakewood, cleverly disguised as a rustic barn.
I picked an early Monday afternoon matinee to see “The Grand Budapest Hotel” at a cinema where parking is almost impossible, and the theatre was packed. The cashier told me most showings over the weekend were sold out.

“OK everyone,â said the the instructor at the birthing class trying to get everyoneâs attention. âWe are going to do an exercise now, thatâs purpose is to help the men sympathize with their partners.â
I spend a lot of time in model homes. Way more time than a man should have to spend in one, especially since I live in a home less than five years old.
Since Sun City Neighborhood Watch’s inception in 2002, our board has been asked many questions like âwhy NW,â âwhat do you do,â and âIâm not walking around at night patrolling for crime,â among others. I hope this article clears up these questions and answers some I have not listed.
Q. My mom lives alone, and last month, she fell in her home. Luckily, she didn’t break anything, but we whisked her to the ER to make sure she was O.K. She hasnât fallen again but that is my biggest fear now (and hers as well). I am constantly worried, and she refuses help when I offer suggestions to make a few changes in her home.
We recently received a call from my sister and brother-in-law from New York. They were excited about Time Warner Cable being acquired by Comcast, thinking that their monthly rates from Time Warner would drop. I almost fell off the chair laughing. I informed them that if they should expect anything, get ready for a rate increase.
Question: I reside in Neighborhood 27. I look for, with great interest, the Woodchucksâ informative column in the Sun Day. Iâm not certain if you have covered my concern before. I have no idea what needs to be done if we ever experience a power outage during the winter months, which lasts for many hours with regards to water pipes, toilets, water heater, and whatever else requires immediate attention.
Iâve never seen a Kevin Costner movie that I didnât like, even the ones panned by critics. Somehow his persona on screen makes even mundane movies acceptable – at least to me. This is most assuredly one of those cases.

In our never-ending quest to bring new and exciting culinary venues to our loyal readers, we went in search of a New York-style deli. The closest one for us to review was (this is really fun to say), Schmaltz Delicatessen in Naperville.
Question: My garage door was frozen to my driveway a couple of weeks ago. I didnât know it and when I opened it with the remote, the strip holding the weather stripping at the bottom of the door pulled off for a distance of about three feet from the end. The strip is hanging from the door bottom. I am able to see two thin nails that were holding the strip in place. The nails are beneath the weather stripping through to the bottom of the door. The weather stripping itself is fine. Do you know of anyone who has had the problem and what they did to fix it?
